Total commander ios alternative1/8/2024 ![]() I can't see how to change this in the settings. It always opens in multi-window, instead of opening in one window or how you last left it. It's easy to find, but I wish it was easier (maybe if it was in the toolbar) You can change the thumbnail size in: Explore Panel settings > Display > File and Folder Display > View Mode Settings > Thumbnail View Modes > Thumbnail Size. Not fully dark mode, or is it just me? It's the best dark mode on this list (aside from Files)ĭesign and settings are more overwhelming and tedious than FreeCommander XE. I know some people don't like it when things are subscription based. You can also buy a subscription for two years. You need to disable automatic updates to stop this from happeningīuying the Donor version will only give you updates for a year. Similar to WinRAR, it's more annoying since you open it regularly. On free version they will bug you all the time about a new update you won't receive because you haven't donated. You can still access these directories and files regardless. You can't see system files on windows 64bit (You need the 64bit version of FreeCommander XE, which is not free). There is a bug when changing the thumbnail size, the button may stop working and you may have to restart the application to change the size. I saw it before while browsing, and tried it after Total Commander was suggested. I recommend looking into the forums for more color schemes, there's one topic that has every color scheme and there's more than one page in this topic. The color schemes are very customizable, but they are in multiple places around the settings. Not fully dark mode, dark mode is better than Q-Dir though. It would be tedious to always include some of the above If anyone finds this post, I hopefully saved you some time.Īll of the below meet my requirements above unless said otherwise. With that said, I'll start reviewing the suggestions I was given (and whatever else I tried), from best to worst, and tell you why it doesn't work for me. This means that if I am using something else, it has to be better I am not changing the stock file manager because I hate it, I want to change it to get an upgrade. If it doesn't have one of these things, then I won't use it (I didn't think I was asking for too much at first, I underestimated how complicated it can be to develop a file manager) You have to keep in mind that if I replace the stock file manager, it has to have: Good design, Dark mode, and high speeds. I had already tried the few that solved some of the issues (better search indexing, loads large folder instantly)Įdit: I looked at the suggestions, I want to let you know that none of them worked perfectly. I didn't try all the suggestions I found online, but I find that a lot of them don't try to be good looking. Thumbnails for images, large, medium, and small Also access hidden files, usb drives, different partitions, and the storage of connected devices (external drives, android phones). I need it to solve the following issues and provide the following featuresīetter search indexing, not slow and doesn't affect the entire machineĪbility load large folder with over a thousand filesĪbility search large folders without crashing (File explorer can crash even if you search a folder that has 300 video files.)Īble to delete, copy, and move multiple files. With a navigation pane on the left side, that has the ability to show only one window at a time (not be forced to show 4) I want something that looks just as good as the stock windows 10 file explorer, and shows thumbnails just as good. I had seen some suggestions online, but I want to try and see what suggestions I get based on what I am looking for.

Wytchwood fields1/8/2024 The nearest town is Crewkerne, around 10 minutes' drive away. There are plenty of other National Trust properties in the region too, including Montactute House, Lytes Cary Manor and Tintinhul Gardens. The gardens are forever evolving, featuring designs like the Asian woodland and Prairie garden. It takes just under 15 minutes to drive to Forde Abbey, a privately owned former Cistercian monastery full of history dating back almost 1,000 years and featured in the film adaptation of Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd. Home to the Newman family since 1963, we are excited to share this special place and welcome you and your families as guests to our home. For 2022 we have converted an old barn into a covered area for guests to use during their stay, with phone charging points, a communal fridge, fresh artisan coffee and bar selling some local brews. It also includes participation in the Club’s ‘Trees for Life’ scheme, whereby a tree is planted for every member we enrol.Ī short distance from the farm buildings, the camping ground is nestled in the edge of ancient woodland, offering up to 13 spacious and private tent pitches in a mix of habitats. Membership costs just £12 for the calendar year and gives you access to some of the greenest campsites in the UK. ** In order to comply with countryside planning policy, we operate as a Greener Camping Club members-only campsite. **You must select a "Greener Camping Club Membership" extra when you book to stay at Wytch Wood. ![]() Hidden away in a secluded valley near Crewkerne in South Somerset, Wytch Wood Camping at Blackmore Farm opened its gates for the first time in May 2021. Named as one of Time Out's best 13 best UK campsites, Wytch Wood Camping is a peaceful retreat surrounded by woodland and wildflowers. ![]() In some ways its a route that follows the natural course of the campsite – the spring that supplies the water here is also a natural source of the River Axe, which ultimately wiggles it's way south through the countryside to the Jurassic Coast too. A stroll to the top of the nearest hill offers stunning views of Somerset and Dorset, including views to the Pilsdon and Lewesdon Hills, while a walk south will link you up with the Liberty Trail, a long distance footpath that runs right down to Lyme Regis and the Jurassic Coast. If you want to explore beyond the campsite, there are plenty of footpaths that cross the farm, including some that are being developed specifically for Wytch Wood guests. Biodegradable shampoo and dish-washing liquid is provided to make sure that, along with the off-grid facilities, even the soaps you use have as little impact on the environment as possible. That's not to say there aren't conscientious touches. There are composting loos (almost one per pitch), hot showers and taps that supply freshly filtered drinking water but don't expect a playground or electricity. There's a good choice of camping habitats, certainly, but as far as facilities go things are still relatively paired back. Each pitch comes with seating, a firepit and initial supply of logs and you can choose from a pitch in the dappled shade of the lofty Beech trees or pick a spot among the grasses of the open wildflower meadow. Small and unobtrusive, the camping area is nestled in the edge of an ancient wood a short distance from the farm buildings. Which still leaves time to explore the valley and drive to the beach in the afternoon. You can take a tour, buy fresh lamb for your barbecue and learn more about their environmental practices all within the space of a morning. ![]() But that's exactly what makes it so special. With a flock of over 500 breeding ewes, as well as a number of equestrian businesses operating from the yard, the place is still very much a working farm. The farm has been home to the Newman family since the early 1960s but it's only recently they've opened their gates to campers. You could say Wytch Wood Campsite has been over 50 years in the making.

Unshaky app1/8/2024 ![]() But since it is an open source application, if you have any suspicions in this regard you can always keep an eye on GitHub. The only “problem” that Unshaky can have is that, since it is installed in accessibility, it could work as a keylogger that accesses everything we write for malicious purposes. From there, you can adjust the delay for each key separately, which will come in handy when specific keys become stuck or begin working unreliably. Apple made it difficult to replace only the keyboard and it costs hundreds of dollars. To make Unshaky truly useful, click the menu bar icon and choose Configuration to bring up the settings interface. That’s a very effective solution to the stupid problem that Apple in its pursue of thinness foolishly brought onto itself. It is not strange that a key registers the double pulsation before and another one does it later, reason why without a doubt it is a scenario very well raised by the developer. Called Shaky, the app sits in the menu bar, quietly sensing and killing second press of a key that occurs within milliseconds of the first. ![]() In addition, once you have selected the general period in which double clicks should not be recorded, Unshaky allows you to adjust the time for each key, in case there are different behaviors. ![]() Since that time can be short depending on the status of each keyboard, Unshaky can adjust to the amount you need, such as 60 or 80 milliseconds. Mailspring stars 13k - A beautiful, fast and maintained fork of nylas Mail by one of the. Unshaky stars 2.8k - A software attempt to address the 'double key press' issue on Apples butterfly keyboard Applications Mail Correo stars 136 - Menubar/taskbar Gmail App for Windows and macOS. Once this is done, it blocks the repeated keystrokes that are recorded in the next 40 milliseconds from the first time they are pressed. Thor stars 838 - Switch the right application ASAP. First, it asks the user for permission to operate as an accessibility service within the privacy settings, which gives him the control he needs. Understanding what the application does is quite simple. If you have the “luck” that the keyboard of your MacBook does not have jammed keys, but with the disadvantage that when typing on a key it introduces double clicks, that is, that the character appears twice in the text box, Unshaky It can be your temporary escape route to despair. Our app lets you reduce the camera shake a little. Unshaky reduces double keystrokes on the Apple MacBook keyboard. Hi from MK Art and Tech This is our first release Please be gentle. Unshaky basically performs whats called a debounce which is a very common function in electronics that deal with key/switch inputs (because mechanical switches arent perfect) and would definitely be part of the MacBooks keyboard firmware already.

Print(np_arr) ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. The array can only accept integers as elements. The ValueError occurs because NumPy interprets ] as a list, but the data type of the numpy array to create is int. The cause of the TypeError is the ValueError. The first error is a TypeError, which we throw because the int() method expects certain data types, but it received a list. ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. ≻7 np_arr = np.array(arr, dtype=data_type) ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'list' TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) Let’s look at the code: import numpy as np In this example, we will set the data type to an integer. ![]() We can select the data type of the numpy array using the dtype parameter. Let’s look at an example where we create a numpy array using a list of values. Example #1: Setting An Array Element With A Sequence in Numpy You will encounter a ValueError in Python when you use a built-in operation or function that receives an argument with the right type but an inappropriate value. In Python, a value is the information stored within a particular object. Example #3: Setting An Array Element With A Sequence in Scikit-Learn.Example #2: Setting An Array Element With A Sequence in Numpy.Example #1: Setting An Array Element With A Sequence in Numpy.X = mouseX // Assign new x-coordinate to the array Int count = 0 // Positions stored in array int x = new int // Array to store x-coordinates When the array becomes full, the size of the array is doubled and new mouseX values proceed to fill the enlarged array. The following example saves a new mouseX value to an array every frame. If an array needs to have many additional elements, it's faster to use expand() to double the size than to use append() to continually add one value at a time. It can expand to a specific size, or if no size is specified, the array's length will be doubled. The expand() function increases the size of an array. PrintArray(trees) // Prints "lychee", "coconut" Trees = shorten(trees) // Remove the last element from the array Note the different way each technique for creating and assigning elements of the array relates to setup(). In the following examples that explain these differences, an array with five elements is created and filled with the values 19, 40, 75, 76, and 90. There are different ways to declare, create, and assign arrays. After the array is created, the values can be assigned. ![]() This additional step allocates space in the computer's memory to store the array's data. (Each array can store only one type of data.) After the array is declared, it must be created with the keyword new, just like working with objects. When an array is declared, the type of data it stores must be specified. Read one array element each time through the for loopĪrrays are declared similarly to other data types, but they are distinguished with brackets. Let's call this array “dates” and store the values in sequence: For instance, an array can store five integers (1919, 1940, 1975, 1976, 1990), the years to date that the Cincinnati Reds won the World Series, rather than defining five separate variables. Arrays might store vertex data for complex shapes, recent keystrokes from the keyboard, or data read from a file. There can be arrays of numbers, characters, sentences, boolean values, and so on. Arrays can be created to hold any type of data, and each element can be individually assigned and read. The term array refers to a structured grouping or an imposing number: “The dinner buffet offers an array of choices,” “The city of Boston faces an array of problems.” In computer programming, an array is a set of data elements stored under the same name. If you see any errors or have comments, please let us know. ![]() This tutorial is the Arrays chapter from Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists, Second Edition, published by MIT Press.

Shadow priest mage tower guide1/7/2024 The event will be available to play through for two weeks before the Timewalking cycle begins again.This week's maintenance for all regions will mark the return of the Mage Tower Challenge! For the first coming of the Legion Timewalking event, we've prepared many guides to help you navigate the challenges. The Mage Tower will open later this year when the Legion Timewalking event begins in WoW. You’ll have to play each of the game’s roles-tank, healer, and DPS-to complete all seven challenges. The best combinations of characters to approach the Mage Tower with are Mage/Monk and Druid/Hunter since those combinations cover six of the seven challenges on their own with little overlap between their specializations. More than one character at max level is required to complete all seven Mage Tower challenges. Keep in mind that expansion-specific abilities such as Covenant powers will be disabled upon entering the Mage Tower, so your characters’ raw stats have to be as strong as possible through their gear. If you have the capabilities and necessary gear to complete several challenges across a variety of class specializations, you’ll be able to make headway in completing the seven scenarios required to obtain the Soaring Spelltome. Thwarting the Twins: Affliction Warlock, Frost Mage, Marksmanship Hunter, Balance Druid, and Shadow Priest.The Highlord’s Return: Protection Warrior, Blood Death Knight, Brewmaster Monk, Vengeance Demon Hunter, Guardian Druid, and Protection Paladin.The God-Queen’s Fury: Arcane Mage, Demonology Warlock, Retribution Paladin, Assassination Rogue, and Enhancement Shaman.Feltotem’s Fall: Beast Mastery Hunter, Discipline Priest, Destruction Warlocks, Windwalker Monk. ![]() End of the Risen Threat: Holy Paladins, Mistweaver Monks, Restoration Shaman, Holy Priests, and Restoration Druid.Closing the Eye: Arms Warrior, Frost Death Knight, Havoc Demon Hunter, Subtlety Rogue, and Survival Hunter.An Impossible Foe: Elemental Shaman, Feral Druid, Fire Mage, Fury Warrior, Outlaw Rogue, and Unholy Death Knight.Here are the seven challenges you must topple to obtain the Soaring Spelltome, as well as the necessary class specializations required to initiate them. To get the most out of the Mage Tower, you’ll have to run through the encounters with different characters or class specializations. While the seven encounters aren’t limited to certain classes, only a handful of specific specializations will be able to tackle each scenario. There are seven Mage Tower encounters you must complete to earn the Soaring Spelltome. How to get the Soaring Spelltome mount Image via Blizzard Entertainment Here’s how to obtain the Soaring Spelltome mount for yourself. Now, the Soaring Spelltome is back in the game’s files and is available for players to earn as a reward from the upcoming Mage Tower event. Last year, the Soaring Spelltome was introduced to the WoW community as a potential addition to the game through a fan vote for a new mount but lost out to the Wandering Ancient. More intrepid players who complete all seven challenges across different characters will earn a unique mount, the Soaring Spelltome. Players who complete one of the Mage Tower’s challenges will receive a transmogrification set for the class that they complete the challenge with. When the Mage Tower returns to WoW later this year alongside the Legion Timewalking event, players will have the chance to earn event-specific rewards. ![]() With seven unique challenges designed for different classes and specializations, the Mage Tower is one of WoW’s most fleshed-out pieces of content. The Mage Tower event is returning to World of Warcraft after a three-year hiatus from the game’s live servers.

Minimum cash balance forecasting1/7/2024 Free cash flows to the firm can be defined by the following formula:įCF to the firm is Earnings Before Interests and Taxes (EBIT), times one minus the tax rate, where the tax rate is expressed as a percent or decimal. Forecasting Free Cash Flowįree cash flow to the firm (aka Unlevered Free Cash Flow) forecast is the preferred approach when valuing equities using discounted cash flows. The choice should reflect how dividends are reported in financial statements. In practice, some organizations include dividend cash flows in operating activities. In our model, we included dividends in our financing activity. Most financing activity items are calculated by simply comparing the forecast year with the prior year. ![]() It is often referred to as CAPEX, short for capital expenditures.Īfter forecasting investing activities, we will now learn how to calculate cash flows from financing activities. Assets are fully depreciated when disposed of and no cash flows are associated with the disposalsĪs a result, the only item we will forecast in our model will relate to the acquisition of fixed assets or property, plant & equipment (PP&E).Our model forecasts fixed assets in detail in the “Supporting Schedules” section, where we assume: All investing activity items come from specific fixed assets or property plant & equipment (PP&E) forecasts. Now that we have learned how to calculate cash flows from operating activities, let’s look at investing activities. In other words, the payables figure must be lower in our forecast year than the prior year. Cash Flows From Investing ActivitiesĬhanges in trade and other payables have a reverse effect – decreasing total cash flows from operating activities. ![]() In other words, receivables and inventory in our forecast year are both lower than the prior year. In this example, changes in receivables and inventory have the effect of increasing the total cash flows. For each operating asset and liability, we must compare our forecast year in question with the prior year. We then use the forecast balance sheet to calculate changes in operating assets and liabilities. The first step in our cash flow forecast is to forecast cash flows from operating activities, which can be derived from the balance sheet and the income statement.įrom the income statement, we use forecast net income and add back the forecast depreciation. From forecasting all three activities, we will arrive at the forecast net cash movement. Operating activities include revenues and operating expenses, while investing activities include the sale or purchase of assets and financing activities with the issuance of shares and raising debt. We begin by forecasting cash flows from operating activities before moving on to forecasting cash flows from investing and financing activities. Derive a free cash flow statement that can be used for equity valuationĪ cash flow forecast can be derived from the balance sheet and income statement. ![]() Derive a forecast cash flow statement based on a forecast income statement or balance sheet.Understand the importance of incorporating error checks into forecasting cash flow.Having completed our income statement and balance sheet forecasts, we can now turn to the cash flow statement to complete the four-step forecast modeling framework.īy the end of this article, you will be able to: This article on forecasting cash flow is the last part of the four-step financial forecasting model in Excel.
